      Genealogy Trails Vanderburgh County, Indiana Marriages 1818-1840

      Compiled from a microfilm copy of loose manuscript material such as applications for marriage licenses, marriage returns, consent papers, affirmations of age, etc. in the Genealogy Division, Indiana State Library. For the period 1835 through 1839 the marriages were checked with a compilation made in 1949 by the Vanderburgh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution from the first bound volume of marriages. It is quite likely that the marriages are incomplete for the early period since no record of them has been found in a bound volume.
